Nothing says "Mom-Slash-Student" like making a cozy work area in the hallway so that your two-year-old can be watched in the bathtub. Furthermore, the entire reason he was put in the bathtub was because he tends to stay there for at least an hour and I have a case study due at 8am. In an attempt to keep him quietly occupied, and myself semi-focused, here is where we are today.
Tomorrow, we have lecture and ATI testing, Thursday lecture, and Friday a dosage calculation exam and simulation. After that, final next Wednesday, and then it's Christmas Vacation. Let me rephrase that: it's CHRISTMAS VACATION. My very last one ever, I'd guess (assuming, of course, that the next semester goes well and that I will have no repeats.)
Four school days to go. With my motivation tank on empty, I have a feeling it's going to take a lot to get me there. So close, so close...
The family. We are a little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.
